Praise for Neil Smith’s Language, Bananas and
Bonobos…
"These sketches by Neil Smith's deft and expert hands provide a
wonderful sampling of many and diverse paths of inquiry inspired by
and informing the study of language, the unexpected delights one
encounters on the way, the surprising and thought-provoking
insights, and the puzzles, paradoxes and mysteries that offer a
persistent challenge to understanding of essential elements of
human nature." Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
"Neil Smith has not only a profound knowledge of current developments in linguistics but also a talent for explaining the issues clearly and approachably." John Wells FBA, University College London
